Summary of Contents: دیوان ازرقی The Díwán of Azraqi (died about A.D. 1130), concerning whom see the second
volume of my Literary History of Persia, p. 323. This little MS. was given to me on June 6, 1913, by Mírzá 'Ali Akbar Káshif.
It comprises 90 ff. of 16 x 9'8 c. and 12 ll., is written in a good, clear Persian ta'liq
with some marginal notes in red, a short prose notice of the poet (ff. 1-2), and
two rather faded miniatures, apparently depicting the poet reading and then
presenting his book to his young patron, presumably Tughan-shah. The text ends
abruptly without date or colophon on f. 90b.Physical Description
